Torque is the cross product of force cross length of the lever arm; it is involved whenever there is a rotating object. Torque can also be expressed in terms of the angular acceleration of the object. The determination of torque’s direction is relatively easier than that of angular velocity.
Describe how the magnitude of a torque depends on the magnitude of the lever arm and the angle the force vector makes with the lever arm; Determine the sign (positive or negative) of a torque using the right-hand rule; Calculate individual torques about a common axis and sum them to find the net torque
Calculating torque (1) Choose a sign convention (e.g. anti-clockwise +ve), then decide in which direction force is pulling or pushing lever. Write that sign in front of your answer. Method 1: If you're given r and θ, use formula for torque (magnitude) τ = r F sinθ (Note: sinθ = sinφ, ∴ it doesn’t matter which angle you use)
LEVER ARM: The lever arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action. Finding the lever arm is usually one of the hardest parts of torque problems. Start by finding ‘r’, which is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied.
14 Απρ 2021 · Introduction. Torque will be used to quantify forces applied to bodies which can rotate. Previously, in the particle model, it didn’t matter where on a body we applied a force. However, with rigid bodies, that is no longer true. (Things are no longer point particles.) Torque. The magnitude of the force.
Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force. It is a measure of the effectiveness of a force in changing or accelerating a rotation (changing the angular velocity over a period of time). In equation form, the magnitude of torque is defined to be. τ = rF sin θ.
Torque (Newton-meters) Torque (Cross Product): # = r x F or |r|∙|F|∙sinθ, where r = distance vector from pivot to point of application of the force, and θ = angle between tails of vectors r and F. Torque (Lever Arm): # = |Fℓ|, where ℓ = ⊥ distance to line of action or “lever arm”. Sign Convention: # is negative if directed ...
